Baking Britain Great Again: How Bake Off created a nation of bread winners

These days we mark the end of summer (sorry folks!) by returning to the most famous tent in the land.

We get a slice of the action in this week’s The Big Issue.

Plus…

All-American singer and actor Josh Groban on why he’d ask his 16-year-old self to warn man, woman and child about Donald Trump and why he dreamed a dream of a life of theatre and Andrew Lloyd Webber while growing up in his Letter To My Younger Self.
